I like llvmcc, but really have no strong opinion.

I prefer the XML version of the config file format. It's well-formed and
there are tools out there that can parse it already. The verbosity of it
isn't that much of a concern anymore with modern systems. I think that
it will help later on if a configuration tool is created that generates
these XML files.

This is my 2 sous.
